COCONUT SHRIMP
No one really knows the origins of fried coconut shrimp, the crunchy, breaded kind that's served in chain steakhouses and beachfront restaurants, but its roots are likely found in the tiki bar culture, which was all the rage in the United States after World War II, when access to tropical produce like coconuts and pineapples became an everyday thing. Using egg whites instead of whole eggs and cornstarch instead of flour yields shrimp that are simultaneously crunchy yet light, and go just as well with piña coladas as they do with Champagne. We paired ours with a simple spicy-sweet dip made with marmalade, Dijon mustard and Sriracha, but you can also serve them with store-bought sweet chile sauce.

Steps:
- Make the dip: In a small bowl, combine marmalade, mustard, Sriracha (if using), lime juice and salt. Stir until fully incorporated. If it's too thick, add a touch more lime juice.
- Make the shrimp: Place the cornstarch, lime zest, salt and cayenne (if using) in a shallow bowl. Whisk the egg whites in another bowl until frothy. Toss the coconut and panko in another shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- Working with one shrimp at a time, holding it by its tail, coat the shrimp (but not the tail) in the cornstarch mixture then shake off excess. Dip in the egg whites, then shake off excess. Dredge in coconut-panko mixture, pressing to coat. Set aside on a large plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet in a thin layer. Heat over medium until oil shimmers. (A pinch of the coconut-panko mixture added to the oil should sizzle and brown easily. If the oil isn't hot enough, the shrimp will stick to the pan.) Working in batches if necessary, add shrimp in a single, even layer (do not crowd the pan), and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary if the shrimp is browning too quickly.
- Using tongs, grab the shrimp by the tail (so as not to disturb the crust) and flip over. Cook until golden brown underneath, about 2 minutes more. Remove the shrimp by the tail from the pan to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the shrimp, adding additional oil as needed.
- Serve immediately with dip.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set up a breading station by gathering three shallow bowls. Pour the cornstarch in a bowl and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Crack the eggs into a second bowl and add the coconut milk. Beat until incorporated, then add a pinch of salt and pepper. Put the shredded coconut in a third bowl and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the shrimp with some salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Working with 1 shrimp at a time, dredge the shrimp in the cornstarch and shake off excess, then dip in the egg mixture and let the excess drip off. Finally, toss in the shredded coconut mixture, gently pressing the coconut onto the shrimp. Spread the shrimp in one layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly brush each shrimp with the coconut oil. Bake until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Allow the shrimp to rest for 5 minutes. Serve with sweet chili sauce or cocktail sauce.

Jumbo shrimp is big on flavor when field editor Marie Hattrup from the Dalles, Oregon gives it a tropical twist. Coconut offers subtle sweetness, and the fruity salsa is delightful as a dip.
